Slingshot SST V.6 2022 KiteSPEED / DRIFT / RESPONSE
For 2022, we have evolved the SST, our legendary kitesurfing
kite, to be better than ever for any wave in the world. Featuring a
completely redesigned wingtip shape and geometry, the
all-new SST V6 builds upon its reputation as one of the fastest and
most responsive kites on the market. The additional curve of the
wingtip combined with our IRS bridle technology provides added
range and has completely revolutionized its upwind performance
and water relaunch. The SST V6’s ultralight and ultra-thin microstruts provide plenty of overall structure to the kite while still
keeping the overall weight down, enabling next level drift and
response. To further strategically scale down weight, we reduced
our canopy paneling by more than 50% as well as implemented
our new premium lightweight IRS bridle.
WHY WE MADE IT
We built the SST V6 to allow you to dominate any wave in the world on any board in your
quiver—it’s the state-of-the-art design for pure kitesurfing performance. The SST V6 delivers
next-level speed, drift and response while also providing the rider with great upwind reach
and the confidence of quick water relaunch.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT
+ The SST V6 delivers hero-level drift, speed and response to maximize your fun on a
surfboard, foil or a twin tip.
+ Faster, lighter and more technically advanced than its predecessor, the SST V6 is the next
evolution of a kitesurfing kite.
+ Ridden and endorsed by industry icon and kitesurfing pioneer Ben Wilson.
+ Key Improvements include faster turning, as well as increased upwind performance and
water relaunch.
1. New Redesigned Responsive Wingtip
The additional curve of the SST V6’s new wingtip, when combined with our IRS
bridle technology, provides added speed, responsive handling and has completely
revolutionized its upwind performance and water relaunch.
2. New Micro Struts
Our thinnest and lightest struts ever. These smaller diameter struts provide plenty of
overall structure to the kite while still keeping down the weight and drag to enable nextlevel drift and response.
3. New Clean Canopy
We reduced canopy paneling from 138 individual panels to 20. This reduction decreases
the kite’s overall weight while also providing a more aerodynamic canopy profile.
4. New Streamlined IRS Brindle System
We pushed the possibilities of the IRS bridle even further by using more premium
materials. The bridle line thickness has been reduced by 25% and riders will feel less
drag through the air due to this streamlining.
5. 4x4 Canopy Tech
The SST V6 is built with Teijin 4x4 reinforced ripstop material. This is the
strongest, stiffest and most durable canopy material on the market.
6. Compact C Canopy
Provides the ideal balance between friendly, responsive handling and smooth, sheetand-go power delivery. A versatile shape that excels in all conditions.
7. Multiple Attachment Points
Different attachment points integrated into the kite allow you to quickly fine tune
handling, power and performance based upon your riding style and the conditions of a
particular session.
